accrued retroactive to hire. Employees who leave the City prior to completing six months of service are not eligible to receive any vacation play upon termination. Employees must submit a "Request for Leave" form, copy attached, to their department head and the City Administrator, as appropriate, at least two (2) weeks prior to the anticipated use of vacation leave. Exceptions to this policy are granted on a very limited basis, taking into consideration the operational needs of the City. To avoid scheduling issues, employees are encouraged to take consecutive days rather than one day at a time. Requests for vacation leave will be considered on a first come, first served basis. Only if the nature of the work makes it necessary to limit the number of employees on vacation at the same time, will the employee with the greater seniority be given the choice of vacation period so long as the employee's request is made thirty (30) days prior to the vacation time desired. Employees leaving their employment in "good standing" (provide a minimum of two weeks notice) will be compensated for vacation leave accrued up to the maximum amount permitted and unused to the date of separation. Employees using earned vacation leave will be considered to be working for the purpose of accruing leave. Except as otherwise provided, vacation leave shall not be earned by any employee during a leave of absence without pay, suspension or time otherwise not worked or paid, if such an absence exceeds ten (10) calendar days in the year. Sick Leave with Pay Sick leave with pay shall be granted to all probationary and regular employees at the rate of one (1), eight (8) hour working day for each calendar month of full-time service. For this purpose, one (1) calendar month shall be any month in which an employee is paid for twelve (12) or more working days (ninety-six [96] working hours). Seasonal/temporary employees are not eligible for sick leave accrual benefits. Employees will not be allowed to have more than 960 hours (120 working days) of sick leave on January 1St of each year. Once an employee accrues 960 hours they will not accrue additional time unless the number of hours drops below 960. Accrued sick leave with pay has no value upon termination or retirement except as provided in the "Severance Pay at Retirement / Termination of Employment in Good Standing / Sick Pay Handling at Termination" section of this handbook. Sick leave shall not be considered as a privilege or vested right which an employee may use at the employee's discretion, but shall be considered as a type of insurance which shall be allowed in case of necessity in an actual illness, legal quarantine, or disability of the employee, or to receive dental or medical care or other sickness preventative measures, approved by the supervisor. 33 142286x12
